Angels Senior Living at Sarasota

My family and I wish to thank all of the team at Angels Senior Living for all of the love, care, and respect They gave Dad during the nine months he spent at Angels in Memory Care before he passed away there under the care of hospice. We found Angels to be a very cheerful, upbeat environment. The Activities Director was terrific. She always had something fun planned for all the residents, parties for every holiday, live music, games, happy hour on Fridays, movies in the large screen theater, visitation by kids from the local elementary school, and her own therapy dog she brought in every day for the residents to cuddle. The head nurse was outstanding. She quickly caught every change in Dads condition, and arranged the proper treatment immediately. If the Doctor ordered a new medication , she would go pick it up herself if we couldnt get there right away. Amazing dedication! The aides in Memory Care were thoughtful, and always made a effort to accommodate Dads needs and wishes. The last week before Dad passed, even though he was very weak, he badly wanted to get out of bed. So hospice sent over a special chair for him, and the aides got him out of bed. The nurse sent me a picture of him with the biggest smile on his face! A picture I will always treasure. One more thing we would like to mention, a day before Dad passed, on our daily visit, we found the Angels executive director sitting with him. He told me he didnt want Dad to be alone. That meant so much to us and we wont ever forget all of these acts of kindness shown by All the staff at Angels. Thank you all so much.

I am a resident in the facility. The staff is responsive. The food is very good, activities are interesting and fun. We go to interesting places. The activities range from painting, to learning about the states. The staff is respectful and friendly and try to help one another.

I enjoy going to the classes and I like learning about history. It gives us an idea of what life is about. I like it because I learn a lot about things I don't have time to learn about before. I like all the people here. The staff is very good. They pay attention and dont mind talking to you. It's very comforting that there are people who care for you. I can go to different places. I paint and it has given me a new look on life. I can do anything and love the new friends I have made. I especially love the therapy dog that is here everyday. He makes it easier on me because I miss my dog.

Searching for the right place for your loved one is a very difficult task! You search high and low and pray that you make the right choice for them! From the moment I walked into Angel's and was greeted by Maria, with her welcoming smile to Lori showing me around but not being pushy about it! The nurse AnnMarie being very attentive to the residents and not faltering to answer questions from the families to make them feel at ease! The cook, Jeff, always has a smile, and makes delicious meals! With my father having dementia, I need to make sure I felt that it was a safe, clean, caring, open environment for him! I wanted some place that he would enjoy! Liana and Paige, the activites ladies, do a wonderful job with great ideas so that the residents don't get bored! Things from having music, paint/coloring pictures, horse shoes, and bringing animals in for pet therapy! All this is important for the quality of life! The CNA make sure my dad is clean, and wash his bedding regularly! They talk with him and try to understand where he is at in his head and world! They redirect when any issues arise without being aggressive! I have never found a staff member here that did not care! I would highly recommend Angel's if you are looking for a great memory unit for your loved one, or even just a assisted living! Thumbs up to you Angel's for caring!

When I first came here I did not want to be here and I had a bad outlook but things improved as I started going to activities and through socializing things became great! I met a special person, the Activities Director Liana who is also from New Jersey and she made me feel at home. She has gone out of her way and took me and the residents 'thrifting' which I love. I have collected some amazing paintings and so grateful for that. Maria at the front desk is very nice and helpful. I love the dance parties and entertainers that come here. May wife is getting very good care. The therapy dog is very pleasant and fun to be with. He sits on my lap and he is easy going.
